Well, I got this viral infection and it really annoys me...pinkeye, madras eye, red eye..whatever...you stopped my world from spinning. I hate it..I hate it...coz it hurts!

After awhile, i had some thoughts upon contracting this kind of bacteria that penetrated my eyes, I gave it a ditch. I browsed all items related to this kind of viral infection which I really hate so much.I found out that Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the conjunctiva, a thin, delicate membrane that covers the eyeball and lines the eyelid. Conjunctivitis is an extremely common eye problem because the conjunctiva is continually exposed to microorganisms and environmental agents that can cause infections or allergic reactions. Conjunctivitis can be acute or chronic depending upon how long the condition lasts, the severity of symptoms, and the type of organism or agent involved. It can also affect one or both eyes and, if caused by infection, can be very easily transmitted to others during close physical contact, particularly among children in a daycare center. Other names for conjunctivitis include pink eye and red eye...

I visited an Ophthalmologist who examined my eyes and alas, he advised me not to work for 7-10 days. Hep-hep..hooray, I love it...love it...instant vacation, being away from stress that was created by my work. I won't mind the hurt, discomfort all I want is to enjoy my vacation spree in my humble home.

I found new buddies in this ordeal, they are my ever loving eye drops Tobradex (courtesy of Makati Eye Laser), Green Cross 70% solution alcohol, cellphone and of course the last but not the least, my laptop which will be my companion throughout the entire vacation spree.

Thanks to Facebook that will be my channel to view the world. My cellphone that will link me to my colleagues, the alcohol that will sanitize me and my eye drops to take care of my virus.

All new lessons learned will be inked in my heart. First of all the firsts, always wash your hands properly while you're singing Happy birthday.Second, do not touch the infected area and third, stay away from your loved ones because they may also get the infection and do not forget to drink vitamin C to boost your immune system.

One last important thing, I am happier now because I will be free from hearing unpleasant words from a blabber mouth co-worker and from a strict and not-so-good night supervisor who's so nosy about so many things. Alas, I would be enjoying a stress-free vacation.

I know God is really good. He will cure me totally. I guess, this is a blessing in disguise because I have been wanting a vacation.
